That's Hot Thursday

This series chronicles what I find to be hot in any given week - no restrictions on the subject.

1. Mar Y Sol Guadalupe Flower Tote, $88


I am drooling over this bag right now. It's a hand-crafted straw bag with carved wood handles in a beautiful mossy green color.  It's so perfect for summer; I can so see it as a casual day bag, or a stylish bag that's large enough to take on a weekend trip.
This is the first time I've heard of this brand, but I like what I've read so far. Mar Y Sol products are all made by hand using natural materials sourced sustainably from Madagascar, with sales enabling families to obtain economic independence and promote environmental conservation.
Hmmm, I think this means I definitely should buy this bag, for the good of the people of Madagascar.

This counts as a good deed, right?

2. Chanel Topkapi Eyeshadow Quad, $65

Isn't this outrageously priced eyeshadow quad sooo beautiful?? I know the colors aren't particularly unique, but that's what I love about it. This is a perfect neutral palette with a pop of gold that can be used everyday and all year long! If you're gonna spend $$$ on makeup, it might as well be on something you'll actually use, no? It's limited edition and only available online at chanel.com or in select boutiques. So hurry, while supplies last!

July is my birthday month, and yes, I'm still accepting gifts. *hint* *hint*

3. Oklahoma, 100+ degrees


Now that's HOT! Apparently this has been a record-breaking summer in the Midwest and South. Central Oklahoma has hit triple-digits for 15 consecutive days! Forecasters don't see relief in sight, and the state could soon break the 1936 record for 22 consecutive days of such heat.

This is why we pay a premium to live in LA, people!
